Train
Rail journeys to South Australia include the legendary Ghan, which traverses the content between Adelaide and Darwin via Alice Springs twice weekly.
The Indian Pacific spans the continent between Sydney and Perth via Adelaide - making it once of the world's longest rail journeys. It runs twice weekly in both directions.
And The Overland runs between Melbourne and Adelaide three times weekly in both directions, its name inspired by the historic Overlanders who travelled the route on horseback. All of these great train journeys owned by Great Southern Rail and provide varying levels of luxury, entertainment and optional off-train sightseeing tours.
Great Southern Rail will introduce an exciting superior level of service aboard The Ghan called Platinum Service later in 2008. Platinum Service is a new luxury level of train travel, like no other Australian train accommodation. Platinum cabins will offer deluxe accommodation including double beds, spacious ensuite and 24 hour room service. They will have all the modern comforts, in a classic style, with a distinctly Australian character. Stay tuned for more information or register your interest on the Platinum website.
Rail Terminal
You'll find the interstate rail terminal at Keswick, a few kilometres from the Adelaide city centre.
